There are two kinds of water rescues. The most urgent one is rescuing people and pets; the second rescue is saving a home and a family’s belongings. TV news viewers have seen plenty of the first type of water rescues this summer, around the country and right here in Michigan. Just last week, some parts of Metro Detroit freeways were underwater, and residents in neighborhoods like Lincoln Park experienced flooding in their homes due to a failed pumping station.
The damage left in the wake of rising water can be tremendous. Fast-moving water affects floors, walls, furniture, appliances and much more. In some cases, a homeowner may be forced to throw out an item recently purchased along with belongings that have been in the family for generations. It can be a devastating time.
When water damage strikes your Michigan home, the crews at Aaron’s Restoration will be there to help. We’re on call 24/7 to minimize damage and help restore your property. Once the water is extracted from all flooring, we’ll begin drying all exposed surfaces using state-of-the-art equipment. We’ll also control the humidity in your home to reduce the risk of damage to items and the building structure itself.
We understand the need for a rapid response that allows you to return to your home as quickly and safely as possible, without the threat of secondary damage such as mold, fungi and microbial contamination. These elements can create silent hazards in any water damaged home that’s not effectively restored to its previous condition. You wouldn’t want to expose your family to the health risks caused when mold reproduces through small spores, potentially causing allergic reactions and respiratory problems.
Once our water technicians finish the clean-up process, we can help you distinguish between items that are salvageable and ones that must be thrown out. Often a family’s most precious items, such as family photos, are seriously damaged and beyond repair. We recommend taking a pro-active approach by sealing irreplaceable items in watertight containers before your home becomes a victim of rising waters.
Some of your Michigan neighbors found out last week just how much damage those rising waters can do in a short period of time. But before that happens to you or someone you know, make a flood plan and put our number on it. An immediate call to 888-442-2766 could ultimately save your home or business in Michigan or Ohio. Then you become the rescue hero!
